Hey everyone...
Surfing the thread today and thought i'd throw this out there.
Did anyone with a 2019 winder have any issues with their idlers breaking? All 6 of mine are TOAST!! Not worn out... actually broken right off!!
5000km season. I talked to my dealer who put in a warranty request. Yamaha said "he has studs, we will not cover that". All my studs are torqued and checked frequently. Definitely not studs. Also, what's their excuse for the outside of the skid?? I dont have studs there! The '19 wheels are definitely not as beefy as previous years. They have little contact with the outside rubber.
Not sure what to do here. They are relatively cheap to replace, however I don't want to have to go through this every season. I am considering putting a full set of 2018 wheels on which are a much more robust design.
2 questions...
1. Why did this happen?
2. Replace with 18 or 19 wheels?
side note... rear axle wheels are not looking that great either. Only the top skid wheels are still in good shape. Likely because they are solid.
Hope everyone is having a good summer!
